I'm looking at finding a stop-gap solution for the box until Intel devs get something out. I am getting far too many issues with crashing* and video freezes.
*Incidentally, what I once assumed was a hard crash is actually dropping out to the console (ctrl-alt-f2) and a ctrl-alt-f1 will pull openelec back up...still this is a very strange issue that I don't see anyone else reporting.
Anyway, while I appreciate the currently available setup...I'm left wondering why (seemingly) nobody is working toward a functional windows installation. Is it even probable in your opinion? With so many driver issues under linux it seems like a logical progression.
Windows 7 will likely never work due to firmware/BIOS requirements (ie, workarounds) that are not implemented in Coreboot. Windows 8 works fine, but does not output multi-channel (on the celeron model) audio over HDMI due to a driver limitation.
Thank you for clarification. So, does it support multi-channel audio over hdmi on the i3?
